Kou 2 Time Leaped (LN) Volume 1 Chapter 7

Future path investigation

A lunch break on a certain day.

Like always, aware of my surroundings,
I carefully entered the world history preparations room. Since I
didn’t go meet her in the teacher’s office this morning, this
would be the first time seeing Hiiragi-chan today.

“Good work today~” Hiiragi-chan
greeted me as usual, but she seemed to be in a bad mood for some
reason.

“What happened?”

On top of the table, there were two
lunch boxes, and as always, I sat down on the chair next to her.

“Just now, I was searching through
Sakai-sensei’s desk.”

Saka-sensei is the home room teacher
for my class.

“Ohhh…Wait, don’t go searching
through other people’s desks!”

“Saka-sensei had class at that time,
and the teacher’s office was empty.”

“That was your reason?!”

“There was something that picked my
interest, so Hiiragi-sensei decided to investigate a little bit.”

Please, someone teach Hiiragi-chan some
manners. The teacher responsible for the student guidance should
rather start with his colleagues, I think. But, why would she even do
that…?

“And, Sensei, what did you search
for?”

“Not ‘Sensei’. When it’s just
the two of us, call me Haruka-san~” Hiiragi-chan poked my cheek
with her finger.

A fake angry Hiiragi-chan is really
cute.

“Seiji-kun, do you not know why I’m
in a bad mood?”

But of course, she didn’t forget to
properly feed me by lunch. Today once more, she kept going ‘Open
wide~’ as she stuffed some deep-fried food into my mouth.
Delicious.

“Did I do something?”

“You’re asking this after what
you’ve done? It was pretty cruel, you know.”

“Cruel? I didn’t do anything like
that, though.”

If I do something to make Hiiragi-chan
sad, I’m guilty. That’s my iron rule. So, did I do something bad
without knowing?

“Ah. Are you talking about the time
when I was talking with the girls from my class?”

Though that conversation went only like
this:

“We’re changing classrooms you
know?” > “A-Ah, thank you.”

Is that really it?

“There’s no way that Hiiragi-sensei
would get jealous because of high school girls,” she said with a
lot of vigor, only to follow up with a quiet “…Probably…”

“And also, Seiji-kun wouldn’t get
excited by second-year high school girls, right? Here, an university
graduate like me is much more appealing.”

“So that’s the point at issue?!”

Hiiragi-chan asserted her position as a
functioning member of society as she seemed satisfied.

“Hmpf!”

And now she’s pouting?!

“It’s fine, Haruka-san. There are
countless good things about you.”

“Uuu~~~ And then you say stuff like
that…”

When I started patting her, her face
brightened up into a grin.

“Hiiragi Haruka is mad at
Seiji-kun…!”

That doesn’t sound very convincing
with that kind of expression.

“Haruka-san, won’t you tell me? Why
exactly are you mad at me?”

With that, Hiiragi-chan started fishing
something out of her belongings, namely one single printout, only to
hold it straight to my face.

[Future path questioning Class 2B
Sanada Seiji]

It was the printout I had written down
the universities that I wished to visit after my graduation.

“??”

As question marks appeared on top of my
head, Hiiragi-chan opened the paper.

“You’re still playing dumb? Even
after looking at this?”

While playing mad, she pointed at my
number one and two choices of universities. My first choice was a
local public university, while the second one was a private
university.

“Still playing dumb…isn’t this
normal? No, I had to write something, right? We’re getting close to
thinking about our future paths after all.”

“That’s not it! Why do you plan on
going to a university!”

“Why…This is a society which works
on your academic background, right? You gotta have a certain level or
you’re not going to find a job, you know?”

“There’s no meaning in going to a
university. I can guarantee that.”

“Guarantee for what. Well, it’s
true that I only worked half-time instead of going to my classes.”

“Worked half-time…?”

“Ah—I heard about that.”

I was spacing out and didn’t pay
attention to my words. But luckily, Hiiragi-chan nodded once, seeming
satisfied with my excuse.

“That’s right. University is a
scary place, you know. Only normies have fun there. There are also
some bad kids there, so it’s not a place Seiji-kun should visit.”

I agree with the normie part. And,
apparently she’s trying to stop me from going to university.

“Even if you graduate, you only get a
degree after all.”

“Stop with the real talk.”

Does Hiiragi-chan hate the thought of
me going to university?

“Ah, I got it. You’re worrying
since I would go to a place where you couldn’t watch over me,
right?”

“Nope, not at all.”

“So you’re not!”

“I won’t lose against little girls
with their nonexistent resourcefulness. I’m pretty good at cooking
too.”

“Then what are you mad about?”

“Even though I told you that I would
care for you, you’re still going to a university?! Seiji-kun can
just become dependent on me, you know?!”

You got your priorities as a teacher
wrong! And also, having a boyfriend like that is what should make you
mad!

I’m actually trying, and I get
scolded for that?

“At times like these, you just have
to write ‘Husband’~” Hiiragi-chan said as she erased my choice.

And, after bringing out a pen, she
wrote [Husband ♡]

“I’ll get scolded by my home room
teacher!”

Now my second wish was basically
[Housekeeper]

“Isn’t that the same as being a
shut-in?!”

My third wish was [High-class
unemployee]

“That’s just a better sounding name
for a shut-in!”

“For crying out loud!” Hiiragi-chan
slammed her hand on the table. “I thought that it would better than
just writing shut-in!”

“It’s just as bad!”

“Really, Seiji-kun is just so…”
Hiiragi-chan sighed as she once more erased ‘my’ choices off the
printout. “With this, you shouldn’t have any problem, right?”
She asked as she wrote something new

[Bride]

“The weirdness just went up!”

If girls write something like that,
it’s cute, but if it’s a boy, they’d think you have a loose
screw in your head.

Having stolen back the printout, I
wrote my former choices. In response, Hiiragi-chan pouted with a
displeased expression.

“This is just a way to cover it up. I
can write whatever I want after all. I don’t have to follow these
steps. With that, my home room teacher can’t say anything.”

“Eh…Seiji-kin, you’re a genius!”

Finally, she seemed to be satisfied.

“Sanada-kun? Next time, don’t do
anything to make Sensei sad, okay?”

“Yes. I understand.”

As she suddenly switched to being a
teacher, I followed suit. And, she suddenly closed her eyes and
puffed out her lips.

“Nnn…”

“Well, this, we’re at school now…”

“…Hurry.”

Closing the curtains, I kissed
Hiiragi-chan.

“This was the last one at school,
okay.”

“Eh…why are you so strict…”

Because things are going to escalate
otherwise. Probably.

“Just one more.”

“No, I said—”

“Nnn♡”

And like this, I continued to being
blinded by love by this cute creature.
